Let's assume Margarito beats Williams... (and that is a HUGE assumption, I'm picking Williams to win)

Cotto and Arum are not going to pass up the big money of a Margarito fight in order to fight this bullshit #1 contender.

Normally, I'd say Cotto would just fight him in between (say in August/September), but I don't see that happening. Cotto is coming off a very physical fight, and he needs time for his cuts to heal. He needs some time off.

If I were Cotto and Arum, I'd tell the WBA to go to hell. Cotto doesn't need a belt at this point, he's made his name, he can get fights without having some worthless belt.
